[AccessD] Upgrading to Access 2002 from A2K

If you installed OfficeXP and not just AccessXP, then you will have
Reference problems when you use Automation with early binding to manipulate
Excel, Word, Outlook, etc objects; and your program is earmarked for
Office2K computers.

Access does great setting the References to the current Office version when
you go from Access2K to AccessXP (eg. Outlook 9.0 to Outlook 10.0 Object
Library), but will not set the appropriate References from AccessXP to
Access2K (Outlook 10.0 to Outlook 9.0 Object Library - The Reference table
will give you a "Missing Outlook 10.0 Object Library").  

This is where converting your Early Binding to Late Binding is a definite
plus because with Late Binding, References are not required.

That was my plan, to set default to A2K.  I didn't know that about the
decompiling.  If I build an app in AXP/A2K default then distribute it to A2K
users, will there be any troubles with references or anything?
